Seven hundred and twentieth chapters: The day is quiet
Seeing Hongli's careful look, Yinzhen finally couldn't help laughing, pointed at the bowl full of rice in front of him and said: "Of course I'm going to blame you. I'll punish you by eating two full bowls."
After hearing this, Hongli finally felt relieved and said with a grin: "Yes, I will definitely finish it."
"Okay, okay, everyone, sit down." Ling Ruo said with a smile. Shui Xiu had already taken the opportunity to bring the tableware when Yinzhen appeared. The three of them sat together, quietly and happily.
Eating.
Hongli followed his instructions and ate two full bowls, plus a large bowl of soup. His belly was rounded and he kept burping. Seeing how he struggled to even sit up, Ling Ruo pursed her lips and smiled: "
Hongli, you'd better go for a few walks outside, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night."
Hongli also felt uncomfortable, so he went out as he was told, and Xiao Zhengzi quickly followed him. While Shui Xiu and the others were making tea, Ling Ruoxiao asked, "Don't you, Your Majesty, accompany Noble Tong and the others today?"
"Do you even think so?" Yinzhen leaned up and said with relief: "Not all women are worthy of my company, but Lady Tong is considerate. I checked her name several times, but she never
Anyone who complains in front of me, unlike others, either says this or alludes to that, is really boring after hearing too much."
"They also hope that the emperor will move around more." Ling Ruo said casually, and then asked: "Does Mr. Wen often complain in front of the emperor?"
If this was the case, she Xunkong had to remind Ruqing that the palace was an unusual place and it was natural to expect the emperor to come, but she couldn't make everything obvious. Asking for too much would only annoy Yinzhen.
"That's not true. Ruqing is innocent and lively, and like her sister, she is a good-natured person. She never talks about people's right and wrong. The two nobles in this roll are actually knowledgeable." At this point, he said
He squeezed Ling Ruo's hand and said, "However, I still prefer to be with you."
Ling Ruo smiled sympathetically and said: "I am already over thirty years old, how can I compare to those young and beautiful ones? Isn't the emperor trying to coax me by saying this?"
"I'm willing to spend time here to coax you, isn't it enough to prove it?" Yinzhen asked with a smile. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
At that time, Shui Xiu brought tea, and Yinzhen took it and took a sip, frowning slightly, "This seems to be last year's old tea. Where is the new tea? Didn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs send it?"
"Is it old tea?" Ling Ruo took a sip and asked Shuixiu where she got the tea. Then she smiled and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent new tea a long time ago. I think I have leftover tea from last year."
I drank a lot of tea, but it was a pity that it was wasted, so I brewed some from time to time. This time, Shui Xiu took the wrong tea pot and brewed the old tea for the emperor to drink. If the emperor was not used to drinking it, I would ask someone to brew it again.
.”
"It's okay, I'm just asking casually. It's a good thing that you can understand the hard work of the people and not waste it at will. Besides, old tea has the same taste as old tea, so it's not necessarily worse than new tea." Yinzhen drank half a cup and said:
"How about it? Have you chosen the person to be Han Yan's husband?"
"Not yet. After all, it is a life-long matter for Han Yan. She is the emperor's direct princess. Sister Wen has only such a daughter. She should be cautious as she pleases."
"It's true that since Lingxi got married, she has been the only daughter around me, so I don't want to wrong her. Take your time and choose one, and then talk to me when you find the right one. In fact, I would like to keep her for a few more years.
, I’m just afraid that Hui concubine will be too worried and think that I don’t care about this daughter.”
"Your Majesty is so kind and fatherly. How could Sister Wen be so inconsiderate? However, if my daughter does not marry after she is sixteen, others will inevitably have some thoughts." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, she saw Yinzhen. He looked at her with a narrow smile, looking at her inexplicably. Suddenly, Yinzhen was stroking her flat belly and said: "Concubine Xi, when will you give me another daughter?"
Ling Ruo immediately blushed, spat softly, opened Yinzhen's hand and said, "Your Majesty makes fun of my concubine, it's not serious."
"How can I not be serious when discussing the issue of heirs with my beloved concubine?" Yinzhen looked innocent. The time spent with Ling Ruo was a rare time for him to feel relaxed and at ease. He didn't need to be wary of suspicion all the time.
Although Ling Ruo had already given birth to a child, her face still turned red when she talked about it in public, especially when Shui Xiu and others next to her looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. She turned away and whispered: "I can't tell you what I am saying. , there are so many concubines on the left and right who are much younger than me, the emperor can give birth to whomever he wants."
The more embarrassed she was, the more interesting it seemed to Yinzhen. He raised his head and smiled and said, "But I want you to be born the most, Concubine Xi. What should I do if you tell me?"
"Concubine...I won't tell you anymore." Ling Ruo's face was so red that it seemed like blood would drip from her face. Fortunately, Hongli was not here, otherwise she would really be embarrassed to see anyone.
"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore, but I really hope you can have another child for me. I like both men and women."
Ling Ruo lowered his head and said softly: "I think so too, but I'm afraid I won't be so lucky."
Yinzhen patted the back of her fair hand and said warmly: "There will be. Huang Ama once mentioned it in front of me, saying that you are a blessed person, even more blessed than him."
"Did Huang Ama really say that?" Speaking of the kind and kind old man, Ling Ruo couldn't help but feel longing for her. She would never forget that when she was at her most depressed and frustrated, it was the old man who had always taken care of her.
"I can still lie to you." Yinzhen said with emotion: "This is the first time since I can remember that I heard Huang Ama talk about others like this. Having said that, if Concubine Rong hadn't resorted to tricks, Huang Ama would have accepted it. If you enter the palace, I will not be able to meet you."
Ling Ruo covered her mouth and laughed for a while, pretending to be mature and said: "Yes, and the emperor also wants to call me concubine."
"You girl, you think very well, you even dare to take advantage of me!" Yinzhen scolded with a smile, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Fortunately, I didn't, otherwise I would have regretted it."
"If we had never met, how could the emperor regret it? And the emperor's impression of my concubine was nothing more than an accidental injury in front of the horse's hooves outside the palace, and the chance encounter in the forest."
As soon as he heard the word "Jie Lin", Yinzhen's expression suddenly darkened, and his original interest disappeared without a trace.
Ling Ruo knew that he must have thought of Nalan Meier, and that time with Lin was probably the last time Nalan Meier saw him before her wedding, but the two eventually broke up on bad terms.
Still, that hurdle has not been crossed yet. Ling Ruo endured the sourness in her heart and said softly: "I made a mistake."
On that side, Yinzhen had come to his senses, took a breath, and pretended to be relaxed: "It doesn't matter, it's all in the past. In short, I am very happy that I can have Ruoer who has never left me in the past twenty years. Stay with me, and I will always treat you and Hongli well in the future."
